I recommend using free weights such as dumbbells or kettlebells and/or your own body weight rather than static weight machines. Weight machines are often problematic long-term because they can create muscle imbalances and don’t properly prepare you for real life functional lifting scenarios.

Everyone can benefit from weight training. However, you should get advice from a qualified health professional to help get you started at the level best suited for your age and health condition. If you have any questions about chiropractic and/or weight training and their benefits to your health, please contact Sauble Beach Chiropractic.
